Abstract

The implementation of State National Policy of the Russian Federation, the achievement of the set strategic goals and objectives in the field of inter-ethnic relations necessitates combining the efforts of public authorities at various territorial levels. In general, it can be stated that the institutional framework required to ensure the State National Policy of the Russian Federation has generally been formed to this date. Mechanisms for interaction between public authorities involved in the implementation of national policy are further developed; the formation of the uniform institutional framework in the field of interethnic relations at the federal, regional and municipal levels continues; the practice of interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions expands. Apart from that and despite significant achievements, it has not yet been possible to adequately coordinate the activities of all implementers. There are issues in the use of certain institutional instruments at the regional and municipal levels caused by the insufficient elaboration of the corresponding legal framework
